Efficient bedsheet storage

Donna has potentially straightened out your linen closet (or at least given you a way to do so):

Place matching folded sheets and pillowcases inside one of the pillowcases that go with the set. Fold the case around the sheets and you have a neat grab-with-one-hand, no-need-to-pull-the-closet-apart-to-make-the-bed solution for keeping the linen closet tidy.

Comments

For kids less likely to go on a fishing expedition there, sticking a set of sheets in a pillowcase under the mattress works too.

It’s worked very well for us once I decluttered the linen closet to keep just two sets of sheet for each bed — one on the bed, one folded — and got into the habit of stripping the beds for one big load (we have a large-capacity washer) on Monday morning.
